Hi, tried to search the forum, but got a little overwhelmed.
How to get the selected item name in the foreach loop?
Example with selected item: D:\DOWNLOAD\MOVIES
foreach($item, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {run """program.exe"" -option1 ""MOVIES"" -option2 ""D:\DOWNLOAD\MOVIES"""; wait 50;}
Code: Select all
foreach($item, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {run """program.exe"" -option1 ""ITEM NAME"" -option2 ""$item"""; wait 50;}

$item refers to the current one in the loop...

yeah, thats how I ment it
sorry
In the script I need to use the base name and full path from the current item in the loop.
Option 1 is base name and option2 is full path.

By base name you mean: the name of the file (incl. the extension) without it's path?
Code: Select all
foreach($item, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {
$baseName = getpathcomponent($item, "file");
run """program.exe"" -option1 ""$baseName"" -option2 ""$item""";
wait 50;
}
Otherwise you have to replace "file" with "base" if it's really the base name (without extension and path)...

this worked flawlessly, thanks
Is there a easy way to remove the 2 first charachters (drive letter and colon) from the -option2 path?
Desired output: \DOWNLOAD\MOVIES
RegularExpression? ^(.{2})(.*) > $2 removes first 2 character, but how to use in a script?

Code: Select all
$test = "D:\DOWNLOAD\MOVIES";
text regexreplace($test, "^.{2}");
text substr($test, 2);
substr() is the easier option but ofc regexreplace works fine as well.
